Dark red-purple in the glass. Black cherry, plum on the nose. Fleshy palate of black cherry, some vanilla. Tannins surprisingly soft and acidity strikingly low for a Riserva. Not bad wine, -- works well with my cheap pizza -- but not what one should expect from the classification. Even six years on, I should be getting more "oomph" from a CCR. Glad I paid a wicked low price at the state store, and understand why I could do so. Don't hold. Drink up.

Was shopping for a moderately priced wine and saw this promoted in the store's "buy one get one for 5¢" sale so decided to give it a try. It's light on the pallet; so much so that it lacks any real flavor. Happy to try it (and get 2 for 1) but won't buy it again.
